Midnight Commander 4.8.10 OSX

GNU Midnight Commander (also referred to as MC) is a user shell with text-mode full-screen interface. It can be run on the OS console, in xterm and other terminal emulators.

GNU Midnight Commander allows you to manage files while making most of you screen and giving you a clear representation of the filesystem, yet it’s simple enough to be run over a telnet or ssh session.

Just installed, and the install process seemed to work without any hickup, but I cannot find a way to start the program itself. It won’t start when I type “mc” in the terminal(I just get the usual -bash: mc: command not found). I have also used spotlight to look for the binary(supposedly named mc?), and I cannot find it anywhere.

Help! After years of using MC in Linux, I’ve recently installed it on a Mac. (I’m not very familiar with Macs!) MC 4.8.10 has installed and appears to run fine, but how do I access the drop down menus at the top? The old standby of clicking on them doesn’t seem to work! Also how do I access the “F” menus at the bottom?

Sorry if these are dumb questions, but I’m finding the Mac OS very difficult to get my head around after the simplicity of Linux!

Author do not see the problem with install as libraries are already in place. Installer should be made to ask for Admin privileges (ask for password) which will enable proper install (otherwise it fails but still works on 10.6.8)

The workaround is to invoke Installer as superuser, open Midnight package and procede as expected. Keep in mind that opening Installer as superuser will be out of your home directory, so navigate back to Midnight package.
